I once searched for a Dom Dom location in Tokyo, and found it to be in a place that I don't usually visit. I was torn between going to Oizumi Gakuen or going to Kodaira just to eat at Dom Dom. Today, I had some business in Shinzato, Saitama, and since it was still too early for lunch, I decided to drive back on the local roads instead of the highway and find somewhere to eat along the way. And then it hit me - Oizumi Gakuen! I quickly searched for Dom Dom and found that it was very close by. It was located inside a Maruetsu store, which gave it that classic Dom Dom vibe. When I arrived on a Wednesday at 11 am, I noticed that it was an old-fashioned place with a Showa era feel. The customers were leisurely retired gentlemen enjoying their time. I ordered the special Bita Bita Butterfish and the Okonomiyaki Burger set. The Bita Bita Butterfish had a unique texture that was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The taste was enhanced by the buttery flavor. The Okonomiyaki Burger was delicious as always. The set also came with tasty potatoes and a refreshing Seven Up drink. Overall, it was a satisfying meal that reminded me of my love for Dom Dom and the special Okonomiyaki Burger.

I visited the Dom Dom Burger Maruetsu Oizumi Gakuen store. Dom Dom Burger is well-known for its reputation, with a total of 27 stores nationwide (as of May 2023). I ordered the Dom Dom Lunch (¥690) with an Ebi Katsu Burger and a side of Big Dom Tomato & Cheese (¥590). The Dom Dom Lunch: After a short wait in the sunny interior, the freshly made burger arrived in a basket. Without delay, I eagerly took a big bite of the Ebi Katsu Burger - delicious! I finished it in 50 seconds and then moved on to the Big Dom. It was a standard burger with a hearty patty and vegetables - I devoured it in 45 seconds. This is how it's done! I read in a magazine that Dom Dom was on the decline until a female CEO from a different industry took over and revitalized it into a popular chain. The burgers indeed exude energy and brightness. They were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The first time I tried Dom Dom Burger was at a store inside Daiei. This one on Gakuen Street is a roadside store on the first floor of Maruetsu. I felt like trying the Ebi Katsu Burger again after a long time, so it was my first visit here. I ordered the Ebi Katsu Burger set with Pepsi Cola, and also the Thick Tamago Burger as an extra item. The Ebi Katsu fry seems to be smaller now. The interior of the store is a strange space that also serves as an eat-in area for products bought at Maruetsu. It has a small table and chairs that give off a Showa retro vibe. I leisurely finished my meal, thanks for the food.

When I was young, besides McDonald's and Lotteria, there were also Meiji Santaore, Morinaga Love, Dom Dom, and various other options. After buying a Gunpla, I would choose from a variety of places to eat. However, I noticed that Santaore and Love have disappeared, but Dom Dom is still going strong. The store is located near my home in Oizumi Gakuen, attached to a Maruetsu. During the day, elderly people come to shop and then chat with their friends. This time, I had the fish burger set. Sometimes, I crave the addictive hamburgers from this place. They don't have pre-made burgers; they make them fresh after you order. Be careful when eating, as they are very hot and can burn your tongue. The staff is also very polite, which is a plus. Nowadays, as long as there are no major issues, I think it's hard to have a bad experience, but the customer base here is mainly housewives and elderly people, so the service is even more attentive. I like to let them know that I appreciate their efforts to make my experience more enjoyable. I hope Dom Dom continues to thrive. I love it.

I went by bike because Nerima is prone to traffic jams. I had the selected cheese lunch set (potato S, iced coffee M) for 630 yen. The buns and cheese were not bad, but the meat lacked volume. It was a bit thin. Maybe they should consider adding more volume to the meat. They start making the order after it's placed, so be careful if you're short on time. The eat-in space is quite small and gets crowded with people waiting.

Today I finished work at noon with a half-day shift. On my way home, I stopped by a supermarket near here, Maruetsu Oizumi Gakuen store, to buy dinner. I bought beer, eggs, and Marushin hamburgers (*＾-＾*). After paying at the register and packing my bags, I was heading towards the exit when I saw a familiar elephant logo - Dom Dom, a burger chain. I almost forgot about the existence of Dom Dom Burger, as their stores have become rare. Feeling nostalgic, I ended up buying a Marushin hamburger for dinner, but decided to have a burger for lunch here. Today is Hamburger Day!٩( ᐛ )و I ordered the most classic Big Dom Burger set with an iced coffee. However, I thought one burger might not be enough, so I also added an Okonomiyaki Burger. The total came to 1210 yen (tax included), a bit pricey maybe (⌒-⌒; ). I received my iced coffee and a number tag, then found a seat to wait for my burgers. It must have been years since I last had Dom Dom Burger (๑ᵕ⌓ᵕ̤)◞｡ｏ○ I remember my friend's dad used to call it Don Don Burger. Indeed, Dom Dom is a bit difficult to pronounce (๑ ́ᄇ`๑) As I reminisced, my Big Dom Burger and Okonomiyaki Burger arrived. The Big Dom Burger had lettuce sticking out and a double patty. When I took a bite, it tasted more simple and surreal rather than delicious ( ⸝⸝⸝⁼̴́⌄⁼̴̀⸝⸝⸝). The Okonomiyaki Burger had a pleasant sauce aroma when I opened the wrapper, and it even had a fried egg. It tasted somewhat like a Teriyaki Burger (⌒-⌒; ) Well, they were tasty, but lacked a certain punch or sophistication. I enjoyed my meal with some thick-cut fries and iced coffee. It was nice to reminisce about Dom Dom Burger, which I used to eat occasionally and almost forgot about. It was a nostalgic lunch (*＾-＾*). Thank you for the meal.

On April 2, 2021, Friday, around 5:30 PM, I visited Dom Dom Burger in Nerima Ward. I visited alone wearing work clothes, and there was parking available. The store shares a parking lot with Maruetsu Oizumi Gakuen store. They have implemented COVID-19 measures with hand sanitizer at the entrance and staff wearing masks. I ordered the Handmade Thick Egg Burger Set for 580 yen with a hot coffee. The burger was simple with just a thick egg between the buns. It was piping hot, and the broth from the egg was delicious. The mild mustard mayonnaise added just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the egg. Despite not having meat or vegetables, the burger was satisfying. The simplicity and thought put into the menu made it stand out. The restaurant was empty when I visited, which was a bit concerning. Dom Dom Burger offers more than just novelty items, providing delicious options worth trying. If you are in the area, I recommend giving it a try.

On March 31, 2021, Wednesday, around 1:30 PM, I visited alone wearing work clothes. There was parking available at 3.05 Maruetsu Oizumi Gakuen store. It is a non-smoking area and they had COVID-19 measures in place with hand sanitizer at the entrance and staff wearing masks. I tried the BLT burger set at DomDom Burger inside Maruetsu Oizumi Gakuen store and it was delicious, bringing back nostalgic feelings. As the fiscal year-end approached, I was grateful for having work until the last minute. Finally, around 1 PM, I took a break. The seating at DomDom Burger had great social distancing measures in place. I ordered the BLT burger set with a side of fries and an iced coffee. The BLT burger was tasty with lots of lettuce and bacon, and the BBQ sauce added a nice flavor. The fries were also delicious with just the right amount of salt. While enjoying my meal, I recalled a memory from over two decades ago when a friend used to visit DomDom Burger to see a girl he had a crush on who worked there. Overall, DomDom Burger offers unique and tasty burgers, and I look forward to trying their crab burger next time.

In late March 2021 (Saturday), I decided to have lunch. I had watched a rerun of a show called "Geki Rare-san" a while back, and there was an episode featuring the president of Dom Dom talking about the Crab Burger. When I checked their website, I found out that the limited-time offer had been extended until May, so I decided to come and try it out on a drive. This place is near the starting point of the Kanetsu Expressway. I arrived around 4 pm and used the Maruetsu parking lot. I was quite hungry for a late lunch. Inside the restaurant, there were elderly moms who seemed to be taking a break from shopping at Maruetsu, enjoying drinks and fries. There were about 6 of them. Anyway, I placed my order at the counter. I got the whole Crab Burger, of course. I also got the M set, which includes fries and a drink, but I changed the fries to a salad. I just pointed at the menu and said, "I'll have this salad set, please." They said it would take about 7 minutes for the Crab Burger. That was totally fine. I was given a drink and a number tag at the counter and waited at my seat for a while. The crab they use is called Soft Shell Crab, which is a crab that has just molted. They coat it with flour after receiving the order and then fry it. It looked a bit creepy in the video. After a while, the Crab Burger and salad arrived, brought to me by the staff. It looked great. It was definitely crab. The eyes seemed to be looking at me. It was kind of surreal to see the staff holding the Dom Dom flag. It looked like a swimming crab. Swimming crabs have delicious meat in their bodies, so I had high hopes. I tried a leg first, and as expected, the shell was soft. Even the usually hard claw part was easy to eat without worrying about the shell. When I got to the body, the meat was plump and had a fragrant shell. The sweet chili sauce went well with it and it was delicious. However, I didn't really taste the crab miso much. Well, it's a small size that can fit in a hamburger, so I guess it's understandable. But I was satisfied with being able to taste the crab itself. The crab itself was like a crab version of angel shrimp, or rather, I think the post-molt crab is rarer, so I felt more like I had eaten something rare. It's a bit pricey for a fast food burger, but I think it's definitely worth trying once. They also have other unique items on the menu like "Shrimp Avocado - Plenty of Mascarpone Cheese" and "Mentaiko Thick Tamago Burger," so if there's one nearby, I'd like to try a variety of items. It's nice to see that Dom Dom Burger is still around and offering such innovative menu items. In Kobe, where I grew up, there was one on the 1st floor of Minatogawa Daiei (it seems to still be there), and there wasn't a McDonald's nearby at the time, so I used to go there occasionally. The elephant logo is nostalgic.

While driving near Oizumi, I spotted Dom Dom and decided to visit for the first time. I tried the Big Dom Burger, which was a simple hamburger with thick slices of tomato. It didn't stand out as particularly delicious compared to gourmet burgers, but it gave off a nostalgic vibe of classic hamburgers from the past.

Dom Dom, which has been closing down stores one after another, seems to be showing signs of a comeback. I started hearing news about this trend in the past 1-2 years. Recently, a new Dom Dom store opened in Asakusa Hanayashiki, but when I think of Dom Dom, I remember those small stores tucked away in food courts or corners of supermarkets. I decided to search for one of these locations and found a Dom Dom store in the Maruetsu store in Oizumi Gakuen. It was within cycling distance! Excited, I rode my bike and found the Maruetsu store on the tree-lined street extending from Oizumi Gakuen Station. I found the Dom Dom sign along the sidewalk, and upon entering the supermarket, I spotted the entrance to Dom Dom. The interior had a calm atmosphere with some wooden carvings, and the posters of new burgers gave off a Mos Burger vibe. In the past, the overall tone was more flashy and red, resembling McDonald's, but it seems they have changed with the times. Melon Soda Float for 250 yen was a luxurious treat with melon soda topped with soft serve ice cream. It reminded me of my childhood when I wanted to drink it without any hesitation. The taste was definitely melon-like, but surprisingly delicious. The combination of soft serve ice cream made it even more enjoyable. The Hamburger for 240 yen was piping hot and freshly made. The crispy buns with a hint of charred marks, along with the juiciness of the burger, created a blissful experience. The crunchy texture and the generous amount of onions inside made it a steal for 200 yen. The Gobo Sticks for 260 yen were also hot and well-cooked, with the burdock root being soft and flavorful. The salt brought out the sweetness of the burdock. I would love to try this at other fast food restaurants. The Karinto Manju for 120 yen was deep-fried to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a hot red bean paste inside. The sweetness of the red bean paste was balanced by the black sugar-flavored coating. It's amazing how something usually eaten cold can taste so good when freshly fried. I used to think Dom Dom was inferior to McDonald's in my childhood, but now I deeply regret that thought.

I came here looking for the thick tamago burger that I didn't eat in Asakusa last time. Recently, my current favorite Trefac was conveniently located in front of the station, so I stopped by. Even though I didn't buy anything, I wasted time browsing, so I ended up exploring Oizumi Gakuen for the first time in about 15 years. But in the end, I took a bus to Maruetsu! It was really run down compared to before (over 15 years ago) haha. Around 2:50 PM, there was a long line! Well, it seems like it's just an efficiency issue though. I finally reached the register about 10 minutes later. It was served in 6 minutes. What I had was: ☆ Big Dom Tomato & Cheese ¥437 - The patty was juicy and delicious, although a bit thin. The acidity from the pickles or sauce was good. The decision to add tomatoes was right! ☆ Okonomiyaki Burger ¥337 - The taste was as expected haha. The crispy cabbage was good. ☆ Handmade Thick Tamago Burger - Unfortunately, they were sold out even though they close at 8 PM (´TωT｀). I came here specifically for this... Apparently, there is a huge Trefac in Mihara-dai, so I'll have to come back for the Thick Tamago Burger. Due to COVID, there are fewer seats, so you need to secure a seat first, or you might have to stand or sit at the flower bed outside. Thank you for the meal!

I visited this place after the recent visit to the Asakusa store, as I happened to be nearby. It must have been many years since I last visited here, at least 15 years. The location is quite tricky, as it is quite a difficult walk from the station, and taking the bus involves several transfers. On this day, for some reason, the place was packed with people, with a full house and a line for ordering. I had to wait for about 20 minutes for my order. I ordered the retro croquette burger, which had a nice cheap feel to it. The taste was just as I imagined, but it was still delicious with a crispy texture. The building housing the store is quite old, as it is part of a Maruetsu store. I'm a bit worried about its condition. I took a photo of the exterior while waiting, and you can see the building's ruggedness in the picture. Although the Asakusa store has opened, ensuring that this store stays afloat is still important. Thank you for the meal.

In the old days, there was a fast food restaurant called Dom Dom Burger in front of Arai Yakushi Station. It was cheap and delicious, so I used to go there occasionally. It's been about 35 years since it closed, but the other day, when my friends and I were talking, the topic of "Dom Dom in Arai Yakushi" came up, and I suddenly felt like eating Dom Dom's hamburgers. I searched and found out that there are 2 stores in Tokyo, so I went to try it out. Dom Dom Burger Oizumi Gakuen store is a fast food restaurant with low name recognition, but it is actually the first hamburger chain in Japan. Looking at the menu, in addition to the normal hamburgers, they also have unique options like okonomiyaki burger and thick tamago burger. The limited-time Thai Massaman curry burger is also appealing. I was really drawn to the "thick tamago burger," but since it had been 35 years, I decided to go with the standard one. Big Dom Cheese (S set) ¥730 is more substantial than a Big Mac. The Big Dom is best enjoyed by taking a big bite. It has two stacked patties sandwiched between sesame buns. With each bite, the meat juice and cheese overflow. The fresh lettuce adds a nice crunch. The flavors of tomato sauce and mayonnaise spread, enveloping you in a happy aroma. Oh, it's been a while since I've eaten it, but the Big Dom Cheese is impressively delicious. It's a burger where you can truly enjoy the taste of the meat. Despite its volume, I finished it in no time. It goes perfectly with the carbonated cola. This taste is so nostalgic! Or rather, it was so fresh because I had forgotten the taste. Dom Dom, popular among hardcore fans. Next time, I'll definitely try the "thick tamago burger". Note: The character, an elephant, is called "Domuzo-kun" (I learned this for the first time).

I was disappointed when the Aeon Kyobashi store near my parents' house closed last September, and I thought I wouldn't be able to eat there anymore. But I made an effort to come here and ordered the lunch set and the black beef burger. It's hard to say if it's delicious, but I am enjoying it. I'm worried that there are fewer and fewer stores, but I hope they keep trying to continue.

【Reason for visiting】My wife was going to be late coming home, so I decided to go out and happened to come across this place, so I did some research.【Atmosphere】The restaurant is located a 30-minute walk from the station inside Super Maruei. The exterior of the store is marked by the name on the ceiling. Inside, it feels like a hamburger restaurant from the Showa era, with a spacious seating area.【Taste】- Big Dom 410 yenI don't really go to big chain hamburger restaurants like McDonald's, but I had never heard of this place before, so I decided to try it out for dinner. I ordered the item with more meat since I was already there. I got it to go and ate it immediately after purchasing it. The size of the bun was slightly larger than McDonald's, with a similar texture. The meat was a bit thicker than McDonald's, with two patties sandwiched in between, and it was tender. However, the flavor was more like a popular taste for young people (similar to McDonald's seasoning). It wasn't bad, but I didn't find it particularly delicious. Rating: 3.0 out of 5 points (average rating of 3 points)【Overall】I tried a hamburger from a restaurant I didn't know, but it was not much different from McDonald's.

I remember when there used to be a Dom Dom Burger in my hometown Inogashira, about 30 years ago. It was known for being relatively affordable, and I have memories of eating shrimp burgers there. Despite the fact that even McDonald's quickly closed down in our area, it was no surprise when Dom Dom Burger disappeared. However, Dom Dom Burger still exists as a chain in some parts of the country, mostly in the form of in-store shops in supermarkets. It originally started under the banner of Daiei, and despite facing various challenges due to its parent company's circumstances, it has managed to survive as a department. While I no longer see it in my area, I knew there was a store here and had visited it before. On a rare visit to this area for errands, I found myself stuck between bus schedules. The next bus was 40-50 minutes away, and despite it being October, it was a hot day that felt like cicadas could start chirping, causing the cake I was holding to melt. Seeking refuge in a cooler place, I decided to visit Dom Dom Burger. Looking at the menu, I didn't feel any nostalgia from the past. I ordered the Big Dom Cheeseburger set, which cost over 800 yen. It tasted as expected, but at that price, I wished there was something more distinctive to justify it. However, selling at a lower price at this scale would be unsustainable, so perhaps expanding the size would be a good idea. Even if the price is higher for individual items, offering cheaper set menus that truly fill you up could be a better strategy. Maybe even introducing unique and popular items like the whole crab burger on their website could attract new customers. I wonder if I missed that option that day, as I would have definitely tried it. In the end, I unexpectedly ended up with homework from this visit.

Do you all know about Dom Dom Burger? It's a hamburger chain that opened as the first hamburger shop in Japan during the 1970s, the early days of hamburgers. In the 1980s, there were quite a few stores, but the number of stores decreased afterwards, and now they are hardly seen. This particular Dom Dom Burger store is one of the few remaining, with only three stores in Tokyo, making it an endangered species. It's been almost 30 years since I last visited this long-standing store. This store is located inside a Super Maruetsu store, and you can dine in. The atmosphere is not the greatest, with a heavy, oppressive feeling due to the lack of customers. In fact, there were only four customers, including myself. I ordered a Dom Dom Burger for 200 yen and a small size Seven-Up for 130 yen including tax. There were two men in the kitchen, which seemed sufficient for this number of customers. However, they don't pre-make the food here. They make it to order, so it took quite a bit of time for a fast food place. It took 9 minutes to be served. That's an unacceptable time for a place like McDonald's. The price of the burger is double that of McDonald's, and the top bun of the Dom Dom Burger has sesame seeds. The patty is slightly thinner with pickles and onions, seasoned with mustard and ketchup, giving it a milder flavor than McDonald's. Whether you prefer McDonald's or Dom Dom Burger is a matter of taste, but considering the price, McDonald's is definitely better. If you're tired of McDonald's, you might want to try this place. They also have Seven-Up, which is not commonly found in other stores. But it's still expensive. The value index is 0.60 at 120 yen/200 yen. Enjoy your meal.

There was a place called Dom Dom Burger, right? What was it like? It's a rare find for me, but I was happy to see it still exists as a tenant in a supermarket in Oizumi Gakuen. Surprisingly, it seemed like older customers were eating there rather than young people. The buns and patties seemed tastier than those from famous fast food chains, but maybe it's not trendy because it's a bit plain??

I visited after a long time. It is located inside Maruetsu. There are many elderly ladies as customers. It's probably because it's a supermarket store in the afternoon. I'll have the shrimp cutlet and cola M set with fries, and a hamburger. Sometimes I just crave shrimp cutlets. It takes a while to fry after ordering. And here it is. The shrimp cutlet, first bite. It's full of plump shrimp. It's delicious with cabbage and sesame-based sauce. The hamburger is on a sesame bun, simple but tasty. However, my photos are not very good... The fries have a different salty taste from McDonald's, more refreshing maybe. As it is a supermarket store, there are also people eating rice balls and bread in the food court. But what is the right choice? In the past, there were McDonald's, Lotteria, Dom Dom, Santeore, Morinaga Love, etc., but it has changed a lot. Dom Dom is still going strong.

Dom Dom Burger located inside Maruetsu at Daikanyama Gakuin is quite a rare find with only three locations in Tokyo, including this one, and one in Warabi, Saitama. The restaurant has a small space but offers a completely isolated smoking area for both smokers and non-smokers to enjoy. The non-smoking area is a cozy spot for elderly locals to socialize quietly. I tried the Spicy Chili Burger (lunch set size small) with iced tea, and it was decent. The fries were crispy and delicious. The burger had a mild spice level and a modest portion size, making it a good snack option. Overall, the balance of taste, portion, and price was well-maintained. They have a variety of burger options, so I look forward to trying more in the future. It was a tasty meal. Thank you for the meal.
